    Hi guys,

    new to these forums, but have been a valued opinions member for around a year now.

    just a bit of concern recently, as ive found surveys havev seemed to have dried up a bit. Not receiving them as frequently as I used to. Usually manage to receive £10 every 2-3 months, even got lucky with a £50 online forum test around xmas time. but ive only received 2 or 3 surveys in the last month or so. So am getting a tad concerned. Anyone else the same. I have always been a truthful member and never received any fraud emails.

    cheers guys

    I find they go through phases, of having a lot then some quiet periods.

    Me too! Been a member for nearly 3 years and I usually get £4-£5 a month - but last month I got £1 and this month nothing :( Have had a few survey invites actually, but just not qualified for any of them. Strange! I'm wondering whether they've blocked me as part of the fraud thingy too (even though I always answer truthfully) - but it sounds like most people are getting screened out automatically if they've been blocked, whereas I'm able to complete the first few questions before I'm kicked out. Hope it picks up soon!

    To update from my above post, I've managed to get in and claim my £10 as my account has finally been credited in full, but now I can't access the surveys again because of the fraud problem, yet I've never given false info :rolleyes:

    will be interesting to see whether it picks up a bit in the coming months. perhaps companies are cutting down their investment in market research because of this recession. In my opinion this should be one of the last things they should be doing in such a difficult time.

    i do receive a handful each week, but rarely qualify anymore.

    I'm getting well !!!!!! off with unvalued opinions
    Been with them for over a year
    the latest upsets from me are
    5 surveys took over 5 mins to kick me out
    yet another survey stalled, would not accept any answers after 15 mins
    and 1 completed and not showing as pending (for £1)
    The worst thing is, I've had no reply to anything I've sent them
    I've £7.70 credited in my account, Thats why I keep trying

    I would not and will not recomend anyone to this site

    Sorry to hear that Numpty. I hope you manage to qualify for your remaining credit because that's just frustrating.

    sounds pretty frustrating. i must admit, emails ive sent in the past are either unreplied or take an age to reply, so the problem becomes insignificant due to the amount of time taken.

    it is so frustrating. im on £9.70! and I have 3 pending credits of £0.70-£1.25 each, and they just arent being processed!
